We all know how much Mimi loves all of her grandkids, and each of them is spoiled in different ways. Look how she is already spoiling Walt. She wanted to be sure that he had special paintings made just for him when he came home. She came over and hung them on the wall too!

It is so hard to see all of the details, but Papa insisted that there should be a ladybug in the picture, so she put one on the tip of the lion's tail and to the right of the elephant. Mimi saw this particular elephant on a bag that someone gave me at a shower, and instantly knew she wanted to paint it!
I get the question, "Are you going to have any more kids?" asked often. Since finding out Magdalena's diagnosis it was always a tough question to answer. We had always envisioned ourselves with multiple children, but there was always the lingering thought of having to endure this difficult situation again. Although it is less than a one percent chance that we would have another child with T18, the percentage still exists. When pregnant, I said multiple times that I couldn't do this again and my mom constantly reminded me that it is not always that difficult. Being pregnant was physically uncomfortable, but I was referring to the constant emotional exhaustion. As Magdalena continued to do well, Noah and I weren't sure when to begin thinking about other children. Noah and I discussed that I would work really hard at losing my weight, but I was willing to be five pounds more than what I was originally. People poked fun at my not eating Magdalena's birthday cakes...
So cute! Does Mimi sell her paintings? If not, for sure she should!
ReplyDeleteWalt will feel very special and welcomed in his new room.
Hope you are as comfortable as possible as little Walt becomes big Walt growing and gaining weight under your heart!
God bless you as you wait...
It's almost time to meet Walt....I have been thinking about you everyday...best wishes.
